Leven Pre-School
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Leven for children from birth to 8+, open 08:30 to 16:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2025. Open since 1992, with 18 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in East Riding of Yorkshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in East Riding of Yorkshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children and their families are greeted warmly by staff as they arrive each day.
They separate from their parents with ease and confidently explore the environment and make thoughtful choices about their play. Children develop secure attachments with staff which helps them to settle happily into the pre-school. They display a strong sense of belonging and show that they feel safe and secure.
The pre-school's ethos is to motivate, inspire and challenge children to reach their full potential. Leaders and staff work closely to plan and provide a broad and sequenced curriculum that prioritises children's learning. Staff know the children well and use their knowledge of children's abilities and interests to plan an environment that supports their learning. For example, children enjoy using hammers to smash up ice and find letters hidden inside. Staff challenge children to find the letters in their name and think of ways they could melt the ice.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the planning and implementation of group activities for younger children so that they fully benefit from the intended learning.

Still missing for Leven Pre-School

- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
